Spanning the Gardon river, the Pont du Gard dates back to the 1st Century AD and stands as proof that the Romans actually did do it all - the same basic theory of bridge construction can still be found the world over today. Over 50m high and 360m across, the Aqueduct supplied drinking water to Nimes, and was the key part of the 50km system that brought water down to the city. Civil Engineering for the ages.
